I Reincarnated as the Crazed Heir Chapter 125

Episode 125 The Last Gate (2)

[[I guess you knew Jim was coming.]]

He slowly came down this way as if he was approaching the statue of Cheonma behind him.

Even though I wasn’t using witchcraft, with each step I took I felt out of breath and my mind became confused.

Woohoo!

Then, the Holy Spirit that was stored in the upper chamber began to surround my head as if in protest, awakening my confused mind.

‘Is this what Yu So-ha said? If it weren’t for Seong Hwa-ryeong, I would have knelt before we even started fighting.’

It is something beyond imagination.

It was different from Magi. It was more gloomy and dreamy.

My body trembled and the corners of my mouth went up in a smirk.

Rather than being scared, it would be more accurate to say that I was excited to be unmanned.

A strong man who is at least a few levels higher than Yul-Cheon. The author is on par with his father, the third of the three.

[Each. The author’s mood is unusual.]

Perhaps because he was a strong man, Mo Yong-hui also seemed not to be swayed by his momentum.

[Yes, I think that’s right. The master of the palace. The evil of the famous school.]

When I finished my speech and looked up, I saw that he was standing at the same eye level as the statue of Cheonma.

[Do you know him?]

[well.]

Wearing a mask and fighting in a fierce battle, it’s hard to guess who you are. So from now on.

[I have to find out.]

I took a step forward.

“I heard you were coming, but I didn’t think you’d come alone. You took my family away. Are you shameless?”

[[When you want to have great ambitions, trials are inevitable. When you keep them close, they may seem precious, but when you look at them from afar, they are just small flaws. Isn’t it something that can be filled in again with good materials?]]

I understand that he’s the type to set the mood. But doesn’t the author know that the heads of the clans are safe? Or does he mean that they won’t be safe anymore?

I nodded slightly and took a step forward.

“Well, I don’t know if there’s anyone who can fill the role. There aren’t many talented people around me. Please introduce me to someone.”

[[If you deserve it, I wouldn’t mind doing it for you.]]

“Qualification? Isn’t that enough already? Your plan to put Yal Yu-cheon at the forefront of the Great Heavenly Festival seems to have failed.”

[[Yalyucheon. It’s really a shame that that child ended up like that, but it’s not surprising since he just didn’t deserve it.]]

As expected. It is certain that you were the one who tried to cover the Great Heavenly Emperor with blood by putting Yalulcheon in the lead.

I raised the corners of my mouth.

“We can communicate well. Then what about me? Aren’t you satisfied?”

[[How can I not be proud that the child I thought was dead came back alive and came all the way here?]]

Are you saying that you even knew that I died in Cheonma-dong?

Before I could even begin to question him, his voice echoed through the space.

[[However, you lack one thing.]]

“What’s missing? You’re not trying to make excuses about being young, are you?”

[[Sacrifice… … . You don’t have that.]]

“Look. If I hadn’t come here, you would have killed me anyway, right? I risked my life to come here.”

[[For the loser, death is like a byproduct. Honey, you can’t call it a sacrifice. The child of the Yelü family pursued status but abandoned nobility, and the child of the Hong family endured for a long time in silence.]]

“Oh, so should I offer you some tribute?”

How vulgar. In the end, doesn’t that mean you should just tell Cheongung to take care of it?

Just when I was starting to get tired of the boring conversation, he started telling me something completely different from what I had expected.

[[So endure. Give up everything. Offer everything as you have in the past. Then the teachings will be yours.]]

“The past? What can I endure?”

[[The Somyeong Palace will soon be covered in blood and become a corpse tower to lift you up. After you ascend to the throne, burn its remains with your own hands. Then, you will be able to achieve your great wish.]]

You crazy kid.

“Are you saying that all my family members are in Somyeong Palace?”

[[Are they worried?]]

“Not really. You’re saying I just have to sit here and do nothing? That’s easy and nice.”

[[A wise decision.]]

“Okay. So if I become the leader, what do you want?”

[[… … It is a sacrifice. The price of your sins that you must pay for over eons. When the time comes, once, if you dye the mountains in blood, you will be free from your bonds.]]

A pure white ring appeared at the tip of his finger. I couldn’t describe it, but I had a feeling that if I accepted it, I wouldn’t be able to escape from the author.

“Are you being too greedy? Not only are you harming my people, but you are also causing a bloodbath. Furthermore, if you are going to move the Blood Palace and throw the Gwangmyeong Palace into chaos, aren’t you more than enough with your own strength? Why are you doing such things?”

[[It is impossible to repay one’s own sins with the hands of others.]]

“Oh, really?”

I don’t know the details, but it’s clear that he’s a sacrificial victim.

The past events of the Ming School and the Heavenly Palace are of no interest to me, but I cannot abandon the Somyeong Palace. Nor can I cause a bloody disaster and cause innocent victims.

“Well, everything is good, but I haven’t had much to eat since I came out of Cheonma-dong. So I feel a little empty. So I should eat not only Myeonggyo but also Cheongung.”

[[… … It is foolish to desire what you cannot have.]]

“But what should I do? I have to cut up a persimmon that I can’t eat. Come, kneel down and explain your situation. Then I’ll think about it.”

[[… … If you have power, you will be intoxicated by it and will not be able to look up. It is not a bad attitude for someone who has a famous teaching. However, if you do not know it even though it is right in front of you, then you are not qualified.]]

Kookookookook!

If the calm just before was the calm before the storm, the current momentum is like a natural disaster.

Even though I was just standing there, it felt like the world was falling apart.

I even felt nauseous and dizzy.

It must be a manifestation of enormous pressure.

I took out the mask with great effort and slowly placed it on my face.

A blood wind robe was wrapped around his body, and he instantly raised the Heavenly Demon God’s power to its highest level.

Kwaaaaaaah-!

[[Is it the Heavenly Demonic Spirit and the Five-Star Spirit…?]]

“You already knew everything, didn’t you? So I need to know you too. What kind of devil is hiding under that mask.”

Hurrruk!

I immediately unfolded the Heavenly Horse Holy Fire and flew towards him. At the same time, I sent a message to Hwi.

[Tell Princess Seonghwa to start. She’ll understand if you tell her.]

[Okay, be careful.]

I felt the light disappear behind me. However, the owner of the palace did not seem to care at all and just held his position without moving.

Does that mean you are that confident?

Heavenly Demon Ten Martial Arts

One Sword (一劍) Ultimate (窮極)

Danwolcham (Several Months of Slaughter)

He drew the Holy Fire Sword attached to his waist and drew a semicircle.

Oh my god!

It was a power on a completely different level from what I had been clumsily using. As the Heavenly Demon Sword was imbued with the Holy Fire Sword, a distance of more than five steps was cut through the strong energy.

You can ring it. Just touch the guy… … !

Wedge!

What the heck. Does this… make sense?

[[What a truly amazing child. Did he learn it at the Heavenly Demon Library? It is definitely a demonic technique, but I can see the trajectory of the right technique.]]

I just stood there in midair, frowning.

I couldn’t cut him with a single blow. No, to be exact, it dodged as if it had changed target with a single wave of his hand.

‘I would understand if you wrapped the energy around your body and broke it, but you didn’t even dodge it, you just let it flow away.’

The reason why it is said that the ultimate power or the state of Hwagyeong has reached the state of a god is because it embodies a strong energy that cannot be blocked unless avoided or broken with a stronger force.

But it didn’t bounce off, it changed direction like flowing water.

I even had the absurd thought that perhaps it was the incarnation of the shaman Jang Sam-bong.

A bitter taste filled my mouth, and I gained momentum again.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

You’ll know when you experience it for yourself.

Heavenly Demon Ten Martial Arts

Hexagonal cutting technique

Wall force perception

Kwaang! With a loud noise, he bent his knees and was thrown out like lightning.

And that moment when his body is pressed against mine.

phut!

Before I could even open my life-or-death poem, my body was thrown in the opposite direction. What’s more, an uncontrollable pain poured out into my abdomen.

There was clearly no movement?

[[It’s no use. You are no match for Jim.]]

“… … It hasn’t even started yet.”

He is not someone that can be dealt with by a mediocre herbivore.

I took a deep breath and held the Holy Fire Sword straight.

Then he pulled it towards his chest, pointed the blade towards the sky, and performed the Heavenly Demon Sword.

Woohoo!

A crimson aura lingered in the air, and a four-foot-long blast of strong energy emanated an ominous aura.

Heavenly Demon Ten Martial Arts

One Sword, Wuji

Heaven-breaking Sword

[[It’s quite different from the usual strong technique. It’s not something that’s been added, but rather it’s a complete union with the sword? There’s no way you could have created such a great martial arts technique… .]]

Do you really have to ignore it like that to feel better?

“If you’re curious, try to figure it out yourself.”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

It flew up to his head in one breath. When I glanced down, it was just looking up and had no intention of moving.

As the length of the Pacheon Sword increases with the size of the Danjeon, it also consumes a great deal of internal energy.

‘There’s no reason to hesitate when he says he’ll stay still.’

He slowly raised the sword above his head.

Woohoo!

Then, the pressure of the atmosphere gathers along the tip of your finger.

The space was distorted and at that moment, a huge amount of energy gathered at the tip of the sword.

He brought down his sword with the momentum of a Taesan attack.

Heavenly Demon Ten Martial Arts

One sword, cutting technique

The sky collapses and the earth collapses

Puhwaaaaak!

A massive pressure was pressing down on him. Blackening became a haze and took over the four directions, and the heavens and earth roared.

Among the ten martial arts, it is the most powerful single-type martial art.

Kookookookook!

I looked down and saw him slowly raise his hand, draw a circle in the air, and lightly flick his fingertips.

Okay then.

Puhwaaaaak!

The falling debris bounced back towards me. Even faster than me!

Time of life and death

Heavenly Demon Holy Fire Walk

Kwaaaaang!

“Ugh!”

I screamed at the terminal. Even though it was just a passing touch, I felt a pain as if all the blood vessels in my body were cut off.

I placed my palms on the ground and barely let out a ragged breath.

Is this the master of Talma? No. This is not a simple matter of realm.

[[I thought he was smart, but he wasn’t anything special, and when I came back, I thought he was pretty good, but I thought he was lacking. And now that you’re here, pointing your sword at me, how can I not be surprised?]]

I frowned at the words he spoke as if he were a Taoist who had realized all things.

“It’s been weird since a while ago. Do you think we know each other?”

[[You said you lost your memories, but it turns out you forgot everything. You must have been afraid to face reality. Well, that’s why I didn’t look at you differently.]]

“Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable? Instead of asking yourself questions, answer the questions. Are we familiar with each other?”

The guy stares blankly at me.

[[You are the one who entered the heavenly palace on your own, but foolishly tried to escape.]]

Phew! He burst out laughing and took out the other one of his remaining Holy Fire Swords.

“You can’t just say whatever you want just because you don’t remember. Are you trying to say that the author, the master of the palace, was in on my gang? Nonsense!”

[[The past is not erased, but only forgotten. You have chosen the heavenly palace, and have walked that path.]]

“Why should I? Even if I am a cult leader who is going out of my way, why would I reach out to you?”

[[That is not for me to ask. And you are not my opponent. Now answer. Will you join the Heavenly Palace?]]

I swallowed dry saliva. It’s just as the author said.

I’m not at a level to deal with right now.

It doesn’t even pay a penny, let alone work.

My hands naturally filled with strength as I felt anxious.

I glanced around the sacred fire palace surrounding me. Then, a familiar feeling seeped into my skin.

A thrilling sense of relief washed over me.

‘Of course… … I’ll work.’

‘I feel like I’m being used, it feels good and shit. Go ahead.’

‘Okay, that’s it.’

When I spoke with Princess Seonghwa Yoo So-ha, she and I came up with a plan.

‘Wait a minute… … But you don’t seem to have the emotional depth to risk your life for something that can’t be done. Do you think there’s a way to win?’

‘… … The Master of the Heavenly Palace will definitely come here. As he always has.’

‘If someone saw it, they would think it was a famous school tradition. So what?’

‘What is the root of most of the martial arts that remain here? It is the Heavenly Demonic Art. Among them, our Great Black Heavenly Demonic Art temporarily enhanced the martial arts of the young sect leader. So.’

‘Are we going to set up camp here?’

‘If you spread it out in advance, you have no chance of winning. He must know. However, the little cult leader has a holy spirit that can cover his senses. If you come within ten paces, he will cover his eyes, so buy him some time.’

A spacious garden in the center.

And the Holy Fire Palace surrounding the four sides.

Right now, the Seonghwagungdo including Yusoha are lined up inside the building, preparing a large-scale Daeheukcheonmajin.

Once that’s done, I’ll definitely be able to find a way to deal with the author. If not… …if I can just get close to him.

[[I’ve delayed you too long. I’ll ask you one last time. Will you accept my offer?]]

I look at him again. As expected, he doesn’t know what I’m talking about. But I still need more time.

I shook off my clothes and took another step toward him.

“What if I don’t accept it?”

[[Everything has a price.]]

“What? Like death? Then will Somyeonggung spare your life?”

[[No matter what your choice, the Somyeong Palace will be erased today.]]

“That’s different from what I said earlier. You said you can’t pay the price with someone else’s hands.”

[[Jim told you to clean up the remains. He didn’t tell you to erase them. That would be his sacrifice.]]

His sacrifice? What nonsense. Who would sacrifice my family members as they please?

The moment I was about to spit out my words because my temper was getting the better of me, I lowered my head and suddenly remembered what he had said.

‘When the time comes, just once, if you dye the mountains in blood, you will be free from your bonds.’

‘Before the enthronement ceremony, he always went to see the cult leader alone.’

Obviously, the condition was to cause just one bloodshed. And every time a coronation ceremony was held, they would look for the cult leader.

The price. And the sacrifice.

Could it be… … Cult leader Matthew Pyung… …?

So. Are you saying that you are not him?

“hey.”

I raised my head.

“I know you’re a crazy person who gets pleasure from spying on other people’s sacrifices, but stop talking nonsense and come at me. I’m a bit busy.”

[[… … Did Jim misread you?]]

“You saw wrong. Because I made you blind.”

[[what……?]]

Gurrrrrr!

Pitch-black clouds rose in clumps over Seonghwagung Palace.

Not only did it surround the building, it also swallowed up the stars in the night sky.

Kwaaaaaaah!

The hungry devil reveals his greed and lets out a rough roar.

An overwhelming force seeping into your body.

“If there is no place to bury you, I will bury you here today. The price is your life, and it is paid in advance.”

Heavenly Demon God’s Work

The Third Form

Heavenly Demon Realm

Phew!

A thick darkness falls.

Now is my time.

I have to meet him and ask him.

Ma Cheon-so’s father.

To Matthew Ping.
